Today’s hectic pace and the mishaps of life can result in an abused and neglected spine and associated joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Hammond-Beyer Health Center’s chiropractors offer gentle, specific spinal manipulative therapy as well as extremity adjusting. They specialize in a full range of chiropractic services and will devise an individualized treatment plan for each patient.
Chiropractic is a health care profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders or the neuromusculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on general health. The main chiropractic treatment technique involves manual therapy, including manipulation of the spine, other joints, and soft tissues; treatment also includes exercises and health and lifestyle counseling. The first chiropractic adjustment was given in 1897. Since then, chiropractic has developed into the largest drugless healing profession in the world.
